paul mc Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Hi would like a little bit of feed back on my armour build. I know it need a few tweaks here and there but it would be nice to get some more opinions . Thanks 1 Quote
Yeebeme[TK] Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Ooh I do like that armour. Looking great there mate! The only thing I can really think of is that the biceps are looking a bit big on you, could do with slimming them down. The backplate seems to overlap the kidney a bit but that's not really a big deal. Just make sure you're comfortable walking around in the armour and trim where needed (it's always the bloody legs that get me). But yeah, this is a really nice build. Love it 1 Quote
Snaps[TK] Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Looks good. Can you post a couple side pics with your arms raised? Looks like the back piece is overlapping the kidney armor a little. You can adjust that with your shoulder straps. Quote

What I meant was that I think the biceps could be closed up a bit more to fit a bit better Quote
Tusken RTT Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Looks great! A few areas here and there could use a bit of trimming (might be tough to walk with the butt and thighs abutting in back), but you are basically ready to rock it! Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Apart from your biceps being too large, you really nailed it Paul! Really nice job. (might be tough to walk with the butt and thighs abutting in back) I don't know why people keep quoting that. The hip extension (when the leg goes towards the back) is merely 10° to 20° which is practically nothing. So when you walk the top of the thigh at the back won't really conflict more with the butt plate than what it is when standing still. Try it at home, stand up and bring your leg as far as you can towards the back without leaning the torso forward. Trust me you won't get far . Edited March 29, 2015 by The5thHorseman 1 Quote
Tusken RTT Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 LOL ok I will rephrase; I found it easier to walk when I trimmed the tops of my rear thighs to stop them from rubbing against my butt piece, but if it's comfortable, looks great! Quote
paul mc Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Thanks for all the positive comments guys. I will see what I can do with the biceps but Believe it or not they are a very snug fit as they are. I will try and taper them in a touch. I will rise the back plate so it just sits above the kidney plate. As for walking in my armour it absolutely fine very comfy. Thanks again... Edited March 29, 2015 by paul mc Quote
troopermaster Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 Great job on the armour I was going to mention the biceps but it they fit you fine, then no need to mess (unless you think you can taper them in at the bottom slightly?) You might have to trim the prongs on top of the back plate to allow you to lift it up. You can also trim the neck line deeper if you want to bring the chest up a bit too. These are things I do for people who a bit shorter than the desired 5'10" height. 1 Quote
